"Hey Bill, check it out, I'm da bomb…get it? get it?"

We’ve all stumbled across something rather unsettling at work. Perhaps it was the 6 month old lasagna left in the fridge. Maybe it was the “private” email your coworker left open on his screen when he stepped away for a moment. Or maybe it was the time you found a weapon of mass destruction?

Wait…did he just say weapon of mass destruction?

Yes. Yes, I did. Just ask PennDOT spokesman Charles Metzger, who found two men at a construction site in Philly sitting on one such bomb.

A bomb squad was dispatched to a Philadelphia construction site after someone found what turned out to be a nonfunctional replica of a torpedo. A transportation department archaeological team found two men sitting on the finned tube drinking beers on Friday morning.

Two men. Slamming down beers. In the morning. On a torpedo.

Now THAT is an occupational hazard in the making.

    What was a replica of a bomb doing on a construction site? Was it something that was dug up or was it put there?
